the reporter learned from china southern power grid yunnan power grid company that as of now, yunnan’s new energy installed capacity exceeds 46 million kilowatts, and wind power and photovoltaic installed capacity exceed 16 million kilowatts and 30 million kilowatts respectively.

according to reports, yunnan, based on its resource endowment, has vigorously developed new energy sources mainly based on photovoltaics, which has effectively alleviated the power shortage in the province. in the first eight months of this year, yunnan's new energy power generation reached 48.2 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 80%.

"new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics are highly intermittent, random, and volatile, and are greatly affected by extreme weather. new energy power generation based on photovoltaics is mainly concentrated at noon." vice president of system operation department of china southern power grid yunnan power grid company manager chen ruchang said that in order to stabilize the fluctuation of new energy power generation output and promote the safe consumption of clean energy, yunnan power grid and other departments have optimized dispatch operations and given full play to the coordinated and complementary advantages of water, fire, wind and solar energy storage as well as the regulation capabilities of conventional energy sources such as hydropower and thermal power to make yunnan clean. the energy generation utilization rate exceeds 99%.

as of now, yunnan province’s installed power supply capacity exceeds 140 million kilowatts, 90% of which is clean power. among them, coal-fired installed capacity exceeds 14 million kilowatts, hydropower installed capacity exceeds 82 million kilowatts, and new energy installed capacity exceeds 46 million kilowatts.
